The MS Informationstag 2026, held on February 14, was a powerful reminder of what becomes possible when science, clinical care, and lived experience truly come together.
Around 300 patients and family members joined us, a remarkable level of participation and a strong sign of trust and engagement within the MS community.
Clinicians, researchers, study teams, patients, and families shared the same space as partners in dialogue. The discussions were precise, the questions thoughtful and insightful, and the strong interest in ongoing research reflected a shared determination to advance MS care together.
The feedback, including from long-standing patients, was overwhelmingly positive and enthusiastic. The quality of the presentations was consistently outstanding.
A sincere thank you to Johanna Oechtering and Melanie Lacalamita for the excellent organization and for creating a setting where high-quality science was both rigorous and approachable.
To all speakers and experts — thank you for your scientific depth, clarity, and openness.
And most of all, to the patients and families: your engagement, curiosity, and willingness to participate in research foster a community that is informed, collaborative, and forward-looking.
This is translational medicine in action.
